I understand that, but when there is only one black key between G and A, isn't it common practice to have a G# rather than an Ab? One can clearly hear that the interval between what is supposed to be G# and A on this harpsichord is narrower than it should be, which suggests that this particular tuning scheme contained Ab rather than G# (Ab - A is narrower than G# - A in meantone).
Sarebbe divertente trovare una foto di una ragazza sdraiata su un clavicembalo (magari vestita in stile Luis XIV)... sara' che il clavicembalo non e' robusto come un pianoforte ;-)
